ABOUT ME

Hi, My name is Debbie Jones, and I am a registered, experienced and qualified counsellor and psychotherapist who runs Prospect Counselling. As you can tell from the photo's, I love the beach, even in the Winter. However, I live and work in Melbourne's outer eastern suburbs; my consulting rooms located in Victoria, Australia, at Redefine Life, Boronia, and at By Design Holistic Health, Lilydale. For those who can't make it to my consulting rooms, I also provide e-counselling via Skype.

I have a Bachelor of Counselling and Diploma in Community Work, and over 15 years experience as a counsellor, supporting couples and individuals who have gone through, or are going through, difficult times and challenges. I have worked in a variety of settings as a counsellor. This includes working in a crisis support services; an employment assistance program; secondary school setting with adolescents, parents and staff; employment agencies; in a counselling support service; and now in private practice.

I also have a good understanding of issues such body dysmorphic disorder, ADHD, specific learning difficulties (dyslexia), ASD and of Borderline Personality Disorder, and the role and experience of being a Carer.

I also have worked successfully to help many people reduce levels of alcohol, drug and other addictions.

I predominately use a Solution Focused Brief Therapy approach as a counsellor, but I am also experienced and trained in trauma recovery counselling, couple counselling and in narrative therapy.

Whether you are a couple, adolescent, adult or employee, parent, whatever the issue, or the approach I use, I aim to respectfully, and in collaboration, support positive life changes, and where needed, healing and recovery that will help you move beyond the impact of the problem and/or painful experiences, towards the changes you would like to see happening in yourself, your life or in your relationship.

In doing so, you will begin the journey of moving past the effects of the problems and challenges that life inevitably can bring, towards improving your relationships, life, confidence levels and general wellbeing.

If you are ready to take a journey that will empower and strengthen you to move towards a preferred future, then I would love to hear from you.

Appointments available Monday to Saturday 8 am - 8 pm

e-counselling also available via Skype/Zoom
